What I've Been Up To

Because I've been mia from the blog world for such a long time I probably owe you all an explanation of what I've been up to. Since my last real post (not inluding Monday's) I've moved to Cleveland, moved in with my roommate, and started my new job. The move went pretty well, except for one small issue (which contributed to my absence)... our apartment didn't have internet for TWO weeks. Let's just say that the service people at Direct TV and I went through a very LONG rough patch but it all worked out eventually. I never realized how much I depended on the internet until I didn't have it for a while...hmmmm maybe that's something that I should work on!

I absolutely LOVE my new apartment...it's pretty big (for a first aparment at least) and I have my own bedroom and bathroom which is great. The location is fantastic and my office recently moved downtown so I can walk to work now. I'm also loving living with my new roomie S even though she and I are the total and complete opposites. Like literally everything I like, she usually doesn't and vice versa. But weirdly enough we get along REALLY well and I absolutely love living with her. She's a ton of fun to go out with and it's great having an automatic friend in a city where neither one of us know that many people.

And now last but not least...I love my job! I'm doing a bunch of different things right now but I'm learning a ton, and I'm starting to understand everything that's being taught to me which is even better haha. The people in my office are fantastic but in the beginning I was definitely having flashbacks to freshman year of college...I hate being the new kid. I'm starting to get to know more people in the office though, and everyone has been amazing in helping my transition go relatively smoothly. So there you go...that's been my life for the past couple weeks. Now that everything's slowing back down look for more posts, and more comments from me. Have a great Thursday night!

It's JUNE!!

Wow how did it get to be the beginning of June ALREADY? I can't believe that I've been out of school for a month and I'm moving TOMORROW. This year is already going by WAY too fast for me. For some reason out of all of the summer months I think June is my favorite mainly because it's the very beginning of summer and the weather's still (somewhat) cool. Right after the 4th of July I usually get sick of the hot weather and just want fall to come! This month I have a TON of fun things happening, the biggest being my move and the start of my new job on Monday. Then in two weeks I'm going to Cedar point with my great-grand big and to her lake house for the weekend. I LOVE amusement parks and Cedar point is the best so it will be a great weekend!



My Memorial Day weekend was fantastic and included a lot of laying out, grilling out, and hanging out with family and friends. I also saw Sex and the City 2 not once but twice, with my best friend C on Friday, and then with my mom and a family friend on Saturday. Although I liked the movie A LOT more when I saw it the second time I still wasn't completely impressed and thought the first one was a lot better. I loved the first 45 minutes of the movie but thought that it kind of fell apart when they went on vacation. Also, Carrie annoyed me through most of the movie and I found myself liking Miranda a lot more, which is weird because I couldn't stand Miranda through most of the show and Carrie (along with Charlotte) was always my favorite. I still had an amazing time both times I saw it and would still recommend it!

Given that today is my last day home, and I'm sitting on my couch writing this/ re-watching the finale of Gossip Girl instead of doing the 8 million things I need to get done I think I'm going to end it here. I'm off to run a ton of boring errands and pack but I hope that you all have a much better day!

Lots and Lots of News!

Hi all I can't believe that it's been SOOO long since I've posted...I swear that I'm going to be much much better this summer! So much has happened since the last time that I "talked" to you all that I don't really know where to begin but since it's late (and I have a TON of work to do) I'm going to share the two GIANT announcements I have. Before I do can I just say that I can't believe that tomorrow marks my last full week of classes as an undergrad. I have nothing to say about that but it's just....weird.

Ok so here's BIG news #1:

So I don't know if you all remember but back in December I had interviewed for a job that I was pretty excited for. It was similar to what my internship was this past summer (digital marketing) and the company seemed really awesome as well. Well a couple months went by and I hadn't heard anything so I kinda gave up on it...until this Monday. I got a call when I was writing a paper for my poli sci class TOTALLY last minute and I found out

I GOT THE JOB!!!!

Which is absolutely CRAZY. I really can't believe that I have a "big person" job and that I'm going to be starting a month after I graduate. Which is both exciting and terrifing at the same time. AND which also leads me to BIG news #2:

I'M MOVING TO CLEVELAND!!

Which is also absolutely exciting and terrifing. I'm so excited because I'm not going to be that far away from my besties as well as many other close friends who are also staying in Ohio (at least for right now.) I'm absolutely TERRIFIED because I know people from the Cleveland area but not directly in the city and I think I'm going to have to live by myself which kinda scares the crap out of me. So not only are these next few weeks going to be filled with moving out of school but also moving to a brand new city. I basically have NO idea what I'm doing right now so if anyone has any advice on finding an apartment, living on your own, basically ANY advice about becoming a "real" person than let me know!

Soooo in the upcoming weeks I still might be a little sketchy on my posting/commenting but please hang in there because I'll be back to my regular posting when I'm completely settled. Hope you all are doing well!

Growing Up

Today I went to my school's spring career fair, and while I was waiting in line to talk to (potential) future employers I was thinking about how I've been feeling more and more like a "grown up" lately. Maybe it's the fact that I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that I'm graduating in a few months, or the fact that I received a "save the date" card for my grand big's wedding in October, and it's weird to think about attending a wedding "on my own" for the first time without my parents. And for some reason (I really don't know why) when I was trying to figure out a time to meet up with my great-grand big, who was in town today, for drinks tonight or coffee tomorrow, I felt like a grown up again. I don't know why I've been feeling like this lately, and I'm still not sure if I like this or not, but it's definitely weird to realize that I'm going to be out in the "real world" in a couple months and I still have NO idea what I'm going to do with my life. Sorry that this has been kind of a rambling post...I guess the career fair just brings it out in me!

Let It Snow!

I hope that everyone on the East Coast is enjoying this very snowy weekend! It's snowing like crazy right now and I for one am LOVING it. I think my mom and I are going to bake cookies and watch holiday movies today, and then later as long as the roads are OK were going to head out to a restaurant near Sturbridge which is so pretty and very "holiday-y." I can't wait and I think it's going to be GORGEOUS with the snow! I am so happy to finally be done with finals and have a couple weeks off to just relax. I have a bunch of fun things planned for this break and am very excited to head out to Palm Springs CA with my family for New Years!

So I feel like I haven't written an actual post and "talked" with all of you in forever! So many fun things have happened so in the interest of not having a post that's 8 years long here's a quick recap:

• We had our semi-formal the first weekend in December and it was SO much fun! It was held at this really cool little bar, and the atmosphere was great. The bar owners were so generous and had an open bar for us too which made it that much better haha. I know a couple of you were wondering what dress I chose but stupid me forgot to bring my camera cord home so here is the only (good) picture I could find on facebook!
  

• I had my third and final job interview and it went so well! They were so welcoming and friendly and the two people I talked to were great. After the interview they told me that I would recieve an email letting me know if I was still being considered for the position, and last week I got that email! So now all I have to do is wait which sucks, and keep applying for other jobs, but I REALLLY want this one so hopefully it will come through!

• The Saturday before finals, my friends and I took a study break and went to Macaroni Grill which was so delish, and afterwards went to Target to look around. Well, I had seen many of my sorority sister's with these Frye boots, and had been trying to find the Target version for FOREVER, and I finally found them! It was a nice to buy myself a little treat before finals!

• Yesterday I went out to breakfast with my bff C, and then went Christmas shopping in Boston. It wasn't as crowded as I thought which was really nice, and I'm so happy that I'm almost done with everything. I can't believe that Christmas is less than a week away!
  

So that has been my life in a nutshell these past couple weeks. I hope that you are all having a great holiday season so far, and if you're around here, enjoying the snow!

Tunes Thursday

Sorry that Tunes Tuesday got moved to Thursday this week...I left for my interview Tuesday night and was completely busy preparing for it. When I got back last night I went for mexican and margs, and then was completely lazy for the rest of the night! As for my interview I think it went really well! I spoke with two people and the first person I spoke with went to the same school as me, and both were so nice and completely welcoming. They seemed pretty impressed with my intership experience and I think that I would be amazing for the position so hopefully I'll here something back from them soon! In the meantime all positive thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Ok so on to this weeks Tunes Tuesday...for the rest of the month it's going to be all christmas...YAY! Alot of these are non-traditional but they're what I listen to starting in Novemeber so enjoy!

When I Grow Up

I just got back from a cover letter/resume workshop, and in order to put off Jillian/cleaning my room, I started looking at my school's career website, and other job sites just to see what's out there. After looking at a couple listings, I realized that I have absolutely NO idea what I want to do with my life. Actually, that's a lie...after watching like 1800 hours of the travel channel these past couple days I realized I want to be:



Yup, I TOTALLY want to be Samantha Brown. Anyone know how I can grab her job?
